Danabol (often shortened to D-Bol), was actually a brand name given to the steroid compound Methandrostenolone by the Swiss pharmaceutical and chemical company Ciba. Though production ceased many years ago, the brand name lives on and is still the name by which the steroid is most commonly referred.
Dianabol (danabol 10) has a short half life of only about 3-5 hours. As a result, multiple applications of dianabol throughout the day are necessary to achieve a stable blood level. Dianabol (danabol 10) should also be taken with food if possible to decrease possible gastrointestinal pain which may result from its use. Dianabol reaches the bloodstream within 1-3 hours.
Dianabol or D-bol contains methadrostenol that acts on the body in an ergogenic fashion after it is orally taken. The active ingredient in Dianabol is methandrostenolone, but Dianabol is said not to have the c-17th carbon configuration. This means that it is safe, and the occurrence of hepatoxicity is rare.
